Pacific Fertiliser News – Sept 2025

WEATHER

Growing conditions vary greatly from North to South on the East Coast. Southern NSW needs rain, and this week’s forecast for SA, VIC, and NSW could help prevent cutting crops for hay.

Northern harvest has started and summer crop sowing is underway in SQLD and NNSW, with the forecast of a good spring boosting yield prospects for both winter and summer crops.

FERTILISER NEWS – 9th Sept 2025

Domestic fertiliser movements have slowed in recent weeks, due to the end of the top dressing window, high fertiliser prices and low commodity prices. Global production, overseas tenders and a brief Chinese export window are putting pressure on pricing.

Currently the short term outlook for urea and AP’s is soft to flat. However with China’s export window closing in mid October, upcoming tenders from India, Brazil and others, prices could find support close to current levels.

Urea prices are currently soft, but large summer crop planting may cause short-term nitrogen supply issues, so it is best to understand and lock in your requirements.

FERTILISER PRICING – 9th Sept 2025
Fertiliser prices over the last two weeks have remained fairly stable.

DEEP PLACEMENT GYPSUM TRIAL

Pacific Fertiliser recently undertook a trial, using Regyp granular recycled gypsum in a deep ripper to place gypsum down to 400mm deep in the Lockyer Valley. The aim was to treat sub soil sodicity and prove the use of a cheaper granular gypsum product through the trial ripper rig. For more information please contact the office.
